Healthy Vegetarian Meal Plans

Hello from Alaska!

I’ve been hanging with the folks at Copper River Salmon in Cordova Alaska since Thursday! I can’t wait to fill you in on everything, but in the meantime,ย I’ve been posting lots of snapshots and videos on my Instagram story so you can follow along.

Meal planning! Let’s do this. We have a mixture of light and healthy and comforting meals this week. All veggie-centric, all adaptable to be gluten-free, vegan, or even including animal protein. Here’s what it looks like:

Sunday
